Mystery 1924 Canadian National? Team Patch/Crest Hockey?

[baseball tourist]

Any help would be much appreciated.

Vintage fabric patch/crest, measuring almost 8 inches from top of top point to bottom of stem and 7 inches across.

Possibly from a uniform or sweater. Looking at 1924 Hockey events (Olympics etc) can't find a style match to jerseys or sweaters.

Thanks for looking!

I don't know what it relates to, but it is pretty cool. I think it was fairly common to cut off a hockey crest like that. I have a couple of Minnesota crests, but nowhere near as nice as that. Jason

Chris,
According to a very good Canadian collector friend of mine, Ron Vender, he believes that this is a patch from the Summer 1924 Olympics- either a team member, or a souvenir patch that was quite possibly on a sweater.
He believes he has seen it in a picture before, FYI

I hope this helps...

BTW, you can read about Ron Vender's amazing Howie Morenz collection in this recent Sports Collector's daily article:

Ron was formerly one of the top advanced Nolan Ryan collectors and I've known him for about 20 years.

Thanks Gents!

Would love to find a pic. if possible. The closest I can find thus far is a Canadian soccer team image....but not quite.

Anyone got any ideas about the logo on this guy's sweater?



The card is from a 1925 set.

Adam, very curious piece there. We don't recognize the sweater crest. The "CHC" is suggestive of Montreal Canadiens,
whose famous crest stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien," but while the team has worn a few different versions of that
over the past hundred years or so, and a few different crests in the years before even that, we're pretty sure
they've never had anything remotely like the version shown in the pic as their crest.

The label on the pic is really baffling. Canadiens were Stanley Cup champions (ergo, "world's champions") in 1924 and 1925,
but not only was Al Stinson not a member of those teams, no "Al Stinson" ever played in the NHL. Olympics, then? Nope.
Toronto Granites represented Canada in the 1924 Games, Winnipeg Falcons in 1920, both teams winning gold (ergo,
"world's champions"), but again, no "Al Stinson" was a member of either team.
